I’m sure you’ve seen this trailer floating around in cyber space. I thought I’d share it here anyway, just in case.

From the trailer, the show seems promising. Nothing against the fans, but I think “Arrow” is going to be much better than “Smallville”, just my view of course 😉 This is probably because Green Arrow is one of my favorite characters in the DC universe LOL.

And yes, I’m definitely releasing a Green Arrow paper toy in the future, I’ve always been a fan. I loved the OVAs where he’s featured in (Even his alternate version – the one where he sports a red hood instead of a green one). I just need to decide on which costume to go with. That said, as always, regarding the costume, please do give me suggestions.

One thing’s for sure, I’m definitely going to make one with a hood, and not with the robin hood type hat. LOL.

Many thanks go out to Austin Billingsley, for putting this villain together. Austin’s many interests include art, music, and Godzilla. He’s been doing digital painting for two years now and so far, he’s done around 60 of them. Go check out some of his paintings here. He uses a free drawing application called GIMP to create his paintings, he also used the same software to create the Joker template.

"Pick a card, any card..."

“I don’t wanna kill you, what would I do without you? Go back to rippin’ off mob dealers… no, no, no… no you, you complete me.”

Note that I did do some modifications on Austin’s original template. This is so Joker gets to hold his pistol and cards. For some tips on how do just that, go check out this series of posts I made a while back.

I’m probably going to release a series of “how to” posts to show how to put together the templates released from this site, likely compile the TUTs in a separate page for easy access. Hopefully a bunch of you will find that useful.

Around 2 weeks ago, I wrote a post about wanting to create a series of paper toy based on mega, badass, super villains. Days earlier, I came to a realization that the toys that I’ve been releasing lean more towards do-gooders. The bad guys are getting the short end of the stick. Obviously, we can’t have that. For GOOD to exist, there has to be BAD to to rise up against – you get the picture, right? Anyway, it seems a lot of you agreed.

Disney Villains, by, well... Disney

To all of you who suggested villains to add to the list, many, many thanks. Here now is the current list of characters who made the cut for the very first Paper Toy Adventures Villains Gallery:

Loki

Joker

Magneto

Red Skull

Governor

Green Goblin

Doctor Doom

Doctor Octopus

Note that they are not arranged in any order whatsoever. For the villain suggestions that didn’t make the cut, we can find a place for them in the next batches.

Come back in a few days and witness the beginning of the bad guy invasion 😉

Here he is people! The big baddy (so far) from Nickelodeon’s Legend of Korra animated series is now available to terrorize your desk – or should I say equalize? Only you can tell.

Do you want me to take away your bending powers? Do ya!

For those of you who just joined us, this contender template is a bit different than the others. It’s got a hood that can be tricky to put together. For tips on how to assemble Amon, go check out this mini tutorial I wrote when I released Ezio last year.

You can download the template here. Subscribe to this blog to receive the password in the mail and gain access to the downloads section. Registration is free, just enter your email address in the subscribe field at the right-hand side of the page header.

All toys are printed in full color, all of which are prefolded and perforated. Just punch out the template from the page and glue as needed. Perfect for kids of all ages (even the older-looking ones LOL).

3 Pets and a Baby

A robot with a brain, always cool!

These are repair bots, they come with a patient too.

Yes, they "volt" in. WuLongTi, if you're out there, this one's for you!

The butler did it.

Randy the Wrestler - reminds me of Crunch from Mighty Orbots!

Siege Horse by Marc Aldrin Collado

Scorpion Lobster by Carl Zeno Manalo

Many, many thanks to the great folks at CICO Books for inviting me to collaborate with them on this book. I had a great time working with them. The experience was a very enjoyable one!

A whole lot of thanks go out to Marc Aldrin Collado and Carl Zeno Manalo – two extremely talented artists who assisted me in preparing textures for the toys. They also designed two of the robots in the book.

Lastly, thanks to my family, who provided inspiration for the toys, and for leaving me alone while I was working on them LOL. LuvYa!

So what are you waiting for? Go get yourselves 2 copies of this book – one to assemble, and one to keep.
